The shape of a sublimating ice surface at the bottom of a non-volatile cylinder: Monte Carlo simulations and 2-D analysis
DOI: 10.1016/S0273-1177(97)00953-8 Bibcode: 1998AdSpR..21.1599M

Keller, H. U.; Markiewicz, W. J.; Skorov, Yu. V.

Gas flow rate at a cometary surface depends on the microscopic structure of the porous dust-ice material that makes up the nucleus. The standard model for the structure of such material is a bundle of cylindrical, non-crossing tubes. Even within this idealized model the emergent flux depends on the shape of the sublimating ice surface at the botto…

The Ulysses mission.
Bibcode: 1998SciAm.278a..52S

Smith, E. J.; Marsden, R. G.

Of the dozens of spacecraft sent to explore the solar system, only Ulysses has veered far from the ecliptic. Now looping over the sun's poles in an orbit as wide as Jupiter's, Ulysses has a unique view of the solar wind that is advancing stellar astrophysics.

Ulysses Finishes Its First Revolution Around the Sun
DOI: 10.1007/s001140050534 Bibcode: 1998NW.....85..467K

Keppler, Erhard

Results are presented of the Ulysses mission during its first orbit. There are new insights into the structure of the interplanetary magnetic field, the role of interstellar neutrals within the heliosphere, the acceleration of charged particles to very high energies in corotating interaction regions, the effect of these regions on the propagation …

Stellar uvbybeta photometry in three EUV shadow directions
DOI: 10.1051/aas:1998240 Bibcode: 1998A&AS..130..477K

Knude, J.

We present the uvbybeta data used to locate the dust and derive distances for nearby diffuse interstellar clouds in the EUV shadows lb27-31, lb165-32 and lb329+46 discovered by the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer. The photometrically derived parallaxes of our program stars are compared to the parallaxes listed in the Hipparcos Catalog. Within the pho…

Satellite and rocket borne experiments impose unique requirements on the systems that control them. High input data rates from sensors have to be coupled to a limited spacecraft telemetry resource. A suite of algorithms designed to ensure the most effective possible use of the telemetry allocation for an instrument studying space plasma electrons …

Cassini Huygens mission : the exploration of the Saturn system. Radio science experiments : Radio Frequency Instrument Subsystem
DOI: 10.1016/S0032-0633(97)00212-2 Bibcode: 1998P&SS...46.1333P

Perrot, Bruno; Giordani, Roberto

Many of the Cassini radio science experiments will require very stable microwave signals from the ground station that are transponded phase coherently on board the spacecraft. The Radio Frequency Instrument Subsystem is designed to provide this latter capability with high performance downlink signals at S-band and Ka-band. The signal level and pha…
